This show will be about #Revelation 21:9-14, 22-27 according to #TheGreatMessage translation:

21:9 One of the seven angels having the seven cups full of the seven plagues, the last ones, came to me and he spoke with me saying, "You must come! I will show you the young bride, the wife of the Lamb."

21:10 So he took me away in spirit upon a mountain, great and high up, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

21:11 Having the glory of God, the city's light was like a very costly stone, like jasper, polished to shine like crystal.

21:12 The city has a wall, great and high up; it has twelve gate towers and upon the gate towers are twelve angels; and names have been written on the gate towers, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

21:13 Facing the east are three gate towers; facing the north are three gate towers; facing the south are three gate towers; and facing the west are three gate towers.

21:14 The wall of the city has twelve foundation stones and upon them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

21:22 I did not see a temple in the city for the Lord God, the Almighty, is the city's temple, as well as the Lamb.

21:23 The city does not have a need for the sun or for the moon, so they may shine upon it, for the glory of God lights the city and the Lamb is the city's lamp.

21:24 The nations will walk about by means of the city's light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into the city.

21:25 The gate towers will not likely be closed by day, since night will not exist there.

21:26 They will bring the glory and the honor [or, "value"] of the nations into the city.

21:27 Nothing of low quality will likely enter into the city, nor will the one doing a disgusting thing or the one telling a lie. However, those who have been written in the Lamb's Book of Life may enter the city.
